Sissy :pac:

:pac: Ah sure I had a feeling you were flat out anyway, I'm waiting on getting some fluids for the 900, then it can finally come back down to earth and be started
That will be a tense moment 0 -

Had the most horrible experience driving home, was doing about 45mph on the inside lane of the m50 when there was a bang/snapping noise, car lost all power, while I've a monstrous hgv behind me.
Managed to limp into the hard shoulder right beside a slip road, and called breakdown.
Car will not start, is just making a horrible whooshing noise. I suspect the fooking belt snapped, it had 4,000 miles before it was due to be replaced
Unfortunately the recovery guy agrees this is most likely the case.
Seriously horrible being broken down like that on the M500 -

Happened me before but it was only a cheap runabout so I wasn't too worried. As eazy-e said in one of his rap songs "throw it in the gutter and go buy another" 0 -

Not if it's the belt no. That's a new engine.
Not necessarily at all, I jumped timing lately and bent four valves, done water pump, timing belt again and got head skimmed.
All for €240.
Check it out first stheno, it doesn't mean all valves are gone, it might just need a few and a belt and off she goes 0 -

Oh god no, I don't even want to know a price....
No my little astra runabout, waterpump locked up, car overheated and just as I was stopping she jumped timing and bent valves
Was a good learning experience, learned there is nothing to Opels and there parts are dead cheap!! €10 a valve kind of cheap!0 -
So the 900 is finally back on the ground the brother thought he'd be nice and pump the tyres back up, grand, about 5 minutes after doing the back left one there was an almighty bang, similar to a bomb going off, looked around to see the rear tyre in a few pieces on the ground :pac: 0
